also included in the collection three shore species, from the Laccadives, 

 Trincomalee Harbour, and Pulicat on the Madras coast. 



Four species belong to deep-water genera, viz., two (new) to Parapa- 

 gurus, one to Sympagurus (which is very closely allied to if not identi- 

 cal with Parapagurus), and the fourth (new) apparently to Pylopagurus. 

 The two last named genera are new to Indian seas. The genus Pylopa- 

 gurus was recently established by MM. A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier, 

 to include several species taken by the " Blake " in the West Indian 

 region, and a single species described by Studer (as an Eupagurus) 

 from the South African coast. The four remaining new species belong 

 to the following genera : — two to Paguristes (including one from deep- 

 water), one to Eupagurus, and one to the interesting genus Oatapagurus. 



Of the previously known shallow-water species four belong to well 

 known and for the most part widely distributed species, viz., the two 

 species of Galcinus, Spiropagurus spiriger (De Haan), and Glibanarius 

 padavensis, de Man. The remaining two are now recorded for the first 

 time since their diagnoses were published by the present writer some 

 years ago. Pagurus dearmatus was originally taken at the Admiralty 

 Islands, and Eupagurus zebra on the north-west coast of Australia, 

 as well as on the Ceylon coast. 



The majority of the species are represented each by a small 

 number of specimens, but two — Paguristes puniceus and Sympagurus 

 monstrosus — were taken in large numbers.
